Capanna Olivo

Hosts and keeper could not be more gracious. Grounds immaculate. Location and accomodation better than pictures. Great base for day trips both to wine destinations, Florence, and day trips north and south.

Dear Ms Roehrig,

We would like to thank you very for your advise. We spent wonderful holidays in Villa Olivo thanks to the excellent accommodation, owner's hospitality and beautiful surroundings.

Our week at the Capanna just couldn't have been any better. The villa was totally reconstructed in 2004 and has stunning views of the entire countryside through the many oversized windows and glass doors. We stayed there with another couple and both of our second floor rooms had large opening windows with commanding views of distant hillside castles and vineyards. The villa is very clean, comfortable and very nicely decorated. The grounds are extensive and surrounded with well cared for roses, all kinds of flowering plants, trees and lawn. There is also a large swimming pool with shade cabanas on the lower terraced area. We planned on eating out most of the time, however, this place was too nice to leave. We picked up food at the local Coop and Bbq'd on three of our nights. On the final night, the gracious owner Paola, cooked us an excellent full course dinner that was served by her onsite manager, Silvia. And, during our stay Silvia was extremely helpful, assisting us whenever we had questions or needed help. Paola, her brother alessandro and their family own and operate the Tenuta Della Luia Winery, which is about a mile from the villa. Alessandro's son Johnny gave us a tour and tasting which we thoroughly enjoyed. The view from the winery is almost as spectacular as the one from the villa and we tasted their excellent wines while seated in their garden overlooking the valley. The wine was so good that we had a case shipped to our home in the us. I highly recommend Villa Campanna and all four of us hope to return in the next few years.

Heaven is a place on earth!
Left on Nov 12, 2011 for a stay in Nov 2011
Having a vacation in november, in an unknown place at first might be strange...I was looking for a peaceful and quite place to rest, to read, to relax.... and I found a piece of heaven surrounded by olive trees, cypresses and roses, overwhelmed by a great panorama...I enjoyed staying here every day, every minute....walking through the olive trees, smelling the roses... enjoying the sunny days... I feel reborn, Tuscany is such a beautiful region and its inhabitants are even more....Even the great Michelangelo had to be from Tuscany I would like to show my apreciation to the owner signora Paola who made a dream come true and to her manager Silvia for kindness and care I hope to come back here soon.... I would like to see this piece of heaven in every season because if in late fall was so special, so beautifull in spring or summer must be even more.

Fantastic Tuscan Way of Living
Left on Jun 18, 2010 for a stay in Oct 2009
Being Tuscans we know what Tuscany is like. So we can judge what thi place really is offering: The absolute Tuscan feeling like in "Decamerone". Capanna is the only place to live this feelings. You're put back into Renaissance with it's hilly landscape. The factory also produces excellent wines, as good as Supertuscans!

Every day I dream of our delicious 4 week stay at Capanna Olivo...My teenagers talk of our stay with the fondest of memories...The perfect landscape, the perfect location, and the most delighful owner Paula, and groundskeeper, Silvia ...I have reccomended this beautiful home to many friends and even have some staying this august!! It is more beautiful than any picture can suggest!

Hallo liebe Frau Röhrig,

Villa Olivo ist wirklich ein Traum ! Unser Urlaub in dem von Ihnen vermittelten Feriendomizil hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist gut, die Gastgeber sehr freundlich und bemüht, ein liebvoll angelegter und gepflegter Garten, die Lage des Anwesens ist traumhaft. Es waren sehr schöne Tage in der Toskana.
 Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt: das Ristorante 'La Terrazza' in Montespertoli war eine einzige Enttäuschung! Wir meinen, Sie sollten es von Ihrer Empfehlungsliste streichen.

Liebe Grüße von gut erholten Bielefeldern,

Our visit was wonderful!
 Thank you so much for helping making our trip so easy and enjoyable. We rented the Capanna villa at Villa Olivo the last week in March and it couldn't have been a more splendid place. We arrived after dark, and the next morning we were awestruck by the magnificent view we awoke to outside our windows. It was even better than we had dreamed. The location was perfect for day trips to Florence, Sienna, Pisa, the neighboring hill towns, and it wasn't even a bad drive to the Cinque Terra. The property owners were very friendly despite the slight language barrier, which we made the best of. The villa was furnished perfectly for a very comfortable stay, and we enjoyed every minute of it. If only we had more time to stay.
Please pass along our gratitude to the property owners and compliments on a magnificent place.

Cara Paola,
Finalmente sono ritornata a casa in Sud Africa. Ti ringrazio tantissimo per la tua ospilitalitá e amicizia quando abbiamo visitato la sua belissima casa. É stato un piacere immenso di incontrarvi. Ho amato moltissimo la vacanza in Italia - adesso posso sognare ancora della lavanda nel tuo giardino, i villagi vecchi con i ciottoli e le pareti di pietra antica, le opere d'arte storiche e tutta la genta molto gentile e amichevole!
